#1614disappointed by sbr's performance in this fiasco. not sure if it was intentionally dishonest or just incompetence, but in any case they did wrong
still, there's a good chance someone comes along and backs betislands
huge customer base and great software, once payments start going out again people will come back
this has tarnished their name but same thing happened with betphoenix and they are back and solvent againComment -

#1621I've been watching this thread since last night. Have 4 figs tied up there and just recently opened my acct there. So far, looking like a massive mistake. Literally just live chatted w/ Rossi.
Please wait for a site operator to respond.
You are now chatting with 'Ryan Rossi'
Ryan Rossi: Hello
Ryan Rossi: How can I assist you?
Me: hey ryan
Me: whats the latest word
Me: i'm not particularly optimistic
Ryan Rossi: No payout info yet.
Ryan Rossi: Waiting..
Ryan Rossi: I apologize.
Me: can you throw me any more info beyond that
Ryan Rossi: Jon, the GM, left the company.
Ryan Rossi: I am trying to get payout sent out.
Ryan Rossi: But am working with the processor and mgmt to figure out how.
Me: is there actually a "mgmt"
Me: you've obviously seen all the threads
Ryan Rossi: yes.
Me: would you estimate theres even a 1% possiblility of payouts this week
Ryan Rossi: I do not know.
Me: when do you anticipate having some answers
Me: i mean, the word is that its a sinking ship
Me: so when do we think the final word will come down
Ryan Rossi: Today.
Me: are they trying to sell? or find new backers?
Ryan Rossi: I dont know.
Me: alright. do you recommend i contact you later today? about what time?
Ryan Rossi: Sure
Me: about what time?
Ryan Rossi: An hour or so..
Me: ok
Me: thanks for your help
Me: i'm rooting for you (and for all of us)
Ryan Rossi: Thank you Roger.
Ryan Rossi: I'm doing my best pal.
Ryan Rossi: I'll be here till late.
Ryan Rossi: Contact me if you need.Comment -

There are no investors interested when there are 6 threads on the front page of SBR trashing the place and ALL of their customers come from SBR. I know it's a Catch 22 situation. Freaking out over payment delays basically guarantees an already shaky book will fail before anyone gets paid.
And in the absence of regulation, when owners of a book sense that nobody is going to play there any more and there is no reason to keep it open, they run off with whatever money there is....Comment -

#1630If history is any indication, this will end in one of two ways:
1. Another book will come along, buy BetIslands, and everyone will get paid.
2. They will close up shop and STIFF.
